WHan
holy
ordinaunces
and
thynges
of
Pryce
/
are
to
be
ministred
in
the
congregation
/
it
is
conuenient
(
welbeloued
audience
)
to
geue
instruction
or
informacion
therof
:
As
is
this
holy
order
/
and
state
of
matrimony
:
For
the
which
cause
we
are
here
assembled
and
gathered
to
gether
now
at
this
present
time
:
And
namely
for
this
entent
and
purpose
/
to
couple
and
ioyne
these
.ij.
par
sons
to
gether
/
by
the
vertue
and
strength
of
holy
matrimony
which
is
geuen
to
man
and
woman
here
in
thys
presente
lyfe
/
that
they
shuld
obserue
kepe
and
vse
it
/
after
the
ordinaunce
and
institucion
of
God
.
And
for
asmuch
as
both
you
(
welbeloued
brother
and
syster
)
are
cō
me
hither
with
one
harte
/
and
one
minde
to
receyue
this
holy
Order
and
honourable
state
of
matrimony
/
and
god
lye
lyuing
.
It
shal
be
necessary
for
you
/
to
receyue
it
after
Gods
ordynaunce
/
and
according
to
his
institucion
.
Or
els
were
it
better
that
ye
nev{er}
receyued
it
.
For
although
that
matrimony
be
an
holy
thing
of
it selfe
/
(
as
are
all
the
ordinaunces
of
God
both
holy
honourable
and
good
)
yet
who
soever
haue
receyved
it
/
not
holyly
,
it
is
not
holy
vnto
thē
:
As
Paule
sayth
.
Ad
Titun
primo
.
Omnia
munda
mundis
&
ce
.
That
is
all
thynges
are
cleane
to
them
that
be
pure
and
cleane
/
but
vnto
the
pollutyd
and
vnfaythfull
is
nothinge
pure
nor
cleane
:
For
it
is
lyke
in
matrimony
/
as
it
is
in
other
holy
sacramentes
.
matrimony
called
A
sacrament
For
as
he
that
receyueth
the
body
and
bloude
of
Chryst
/
vnworthelye
/
is
gyity
of
the
body
and
bloud
of
Chryst
,
euen
so
who
soeuer
receyueth
this
holy
state
of
matrimony
vnworthely
,
receyue
it
to
their
owne
destruction
.
But
to
avoyde
the
occasion
of
evels
that
doth
growe
amō
ge
the
people
for
lacke
of

and

/
I
shall
therfore
(
god
wyllinge
)
shewe
vnto
yon
/
even
as
the
holy
Angell
Raphael
shewed
to
Tobis
as
howe
he
shulde
mary
:
As
it
doth
appeare
in
the
.vi.
chapter
of
the
boke
called
Tobias
:
Where
the
Angel
councel
lyd
Tobias
to
aske
of
his
kinsman
called
Raguel
his
doughter
Sara
to
mariage
.
And
he
(
sayd
the
Aungel
)
shal
geue
hyr
vnto
the
.
Tobias
made
answere
to
the
Angel
and
sayd
/
I
vnderstande
that
she
hath
bene
maried
to
.vii.
husbandes
/
and
they
are
all
dead
:
And
as
I
haue
heard
.
The
deuell
slewe
them
:
wherfore
I
am
afrayd
lest
such
thinges
happen
vnto
me
.
Then
sayd
the
Angel
Raphaell
vnto
me
:
Heare
me
/
and
I
wyll
tell
thee
of
whom
the
deuel
hath
powr
.
Namelye
they
that
receyue
mariage
of
such
a
fasshion
,
that
they
shut
God
out
from
them
and
from
their
hartes
.
And
gyue
themselues
to
their
owne
lustes
/
euen
as
it
were
an
horse
or
a
Mule
/
which
haue
no
vnderstonding
:
vpon
such
hath
the
deuell
power
.
But
take
thou
the
mayde
in
the
feare
of
the
lorde
/
and
more
for
the
encrease
of
Godly
liuing
,
and
desyre
of
chyldren
/
then
for
any
fleshly
lust
.
And
then
shalt
thou
be
blessed
and
holy
chyldren
shal
be
borne
of
you
.
Marke
here
gentyl
people
the
most
excellent
and
Godlye
councell
of
the
Angelycall
sprete
sent
of
God
to
this
holy
man
,
for
the
erudicion
of
all
mankinde
/
to
know
and
decerne
the
pure
and
cleane
lyuinge
/
from
the
fylthy
and
vncleane
liuing
.
Yet
gentell
people
let
not
this
be
a
discomforte
vnto
you
that
are
maried
already
/
but
rather
reioyce
that
god
hath
openned
it
nowe
vnto
you
by
his
elect
and
chosen
,
and
lett
it
be
to
you
an
ensample
of
Godly
learning
/
and
an
occasion
of
thankes
geuing
:
Dyspayre
not
but
rather
amende
/
for
to
the
amendement
/
God
hath
promised
mercy
.
And
nowe
to
oure
purpose
I
do
intende
to
procede
after
supplicacion
and
prayer
made
vnto
God
.
For
the
which
I
take
auctoritie
of
saynct
Paule
.
Prima
ad
Timotheum
secundo
,
where
he
sayth
I
exhorte
you
that
before
all
thinges
prayers
/
supplycacions
/
intercessions
and
geuing
of
thankes
be
hadde
for
all
men
/
for
kinges
/
and
all
them
being
in
auctoritie
,
for
that
is
good
and
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
God
/
which
will
haue
all
men
saued
/
and
come
to
the
knoweledge
of
the
truth
.
¶
Sainct
Iames
the
holye
apostle
in
his
.v.
chapter
sayth
.
That
the
prayer
of
a
rightuous
man
/
avayleth
much
/
if
it
be
feruent
.
Now
gentill
audience
seing
the
prayer
of
one
man
profiteth
so
muche
:
we
shal
not
doubt
/
but
that
all
our
prayers
shall
take
effecte
and
place
.
Wherfore
that
these
two
persons
may
haue
the
more
grace
to
receyue
this
holy
sacrament
,
&
I
likewise
to
minister
the
same
.
I
hartely
desier
you
all
to
helpe
vs
with
your
prayer
.
Our
father
&
cete
.
Now
I
do
intende
with
Gods
fauour
and
your
pacience
/
to
speake
here
of
.iij.
thynges
necessarye
to
be
spoken
of
/
for
our
purpose
at
this
time
.
Fyrst
I
shall
shewe
you
:
By
whome
this
sacramente
of
matrimony
was
instituted
and
orde
nid
:
Secondly
.
For
what
cause
it
was
instituted
:
Thyrdely
.
What
thing
is
figured
by
it
.
And
fourthly
:
What
commodite
commeth
of
it
.
As
concerning
the
fyrst
it
was
ordeyned
and
made
not
by
man
/
neyther
by
Plato
nor
Aristotle
nor
yet
by
Moyses
or
any
of
the
Prophetes
,
but
by
God
him selfe
creatour
/
and
maker
of
al
the
whole
world
.
Wherfor
it
foloweth
consequently
,
that
matrimony
must
nedes
be
holy
/
honourable
/
and
Godly
/
for
asmuche
as
God
himselfe
is
the
auctour
of
it
.
Cursed
then
be
all
they
of
what
estate
or
degree
soeuer
they
be
/
that
think
Matrimonye
an
vncleane
thinge
/
or
a
fylthy
act
.
Seing
God
hath
instituted
and
was
and
is
the
auctour
of
it
:
yea
and
that
in
paradise
in
the
beginning
of
the
worlde
.
For
whan
God
had
made
māhe
sayde
thus
.
Non
est
bonum
hominem
esse
solum
.
That
is
to
saye
:
it
is
not
good
for
man
to
be
alone
.
But
let
vs
make
him
an
helper
lyke
him selfe
.
Marke
gentel
frendes
the
words
of
God
where
as
he
sayth
/
It
is
not
good
for
man
to
be
alone
:
Ergo
,
it
is
euell
for
him
to
be
alone
:
It
was
not
withoute
a
greate
mistery
that
Paule
sayth
to
Timotheus
.
It
is
the
doctrine
of
deuels
to
deny
Matrimony
/
seing
that
God
the
creatour
and
maker
of
man
said
,
it
was
not
good
for
man
to
lyue
alone
.
Paule
ourste
not
enterprise
agaynst
these
wordes
But
sayde
.i.
Cor
.
vij
.
Melius
est
nubere
quam
vri
.
It
is
better
to
mary
than
to
burne
.
But
now
to
our
purpose
,
god
sayde
it
was
not
good
for
man
to
be
alone
/
and
therfore
he
made
him
an
helpe
,
that
is
to
say
/
a
woman
,
and
not
an
other
man
.
It
foloweth
therfore
that
a
woman
is
a
greate
helpe
to
a
man
/
&
man
is
a
greate
helpe
to
woman
/
by
reson
wherof
/
woman
ought
to
be
with
man
/
and
on
the
other
parte
/
man
with
woman
:
But
how
?
Notin
fornicacion
aduoutry
and
whoredom
:
but
in
holye
wedlocke
/
after
gods
holy
ordinaunce
.
Thus
I
say
/
whan
GOD
had
made
man
/
he
made
woman
also
/
but
not
of
the
slyme
of
the
earth
,
of
whiche
he
had
made
man
,
But
the
woman
was
made
of
one
of
Adams
rybbes
:
Wherby
we
maye
perceyue
and
vnderstonde
/
that
nothinge
ought
to
be
more
deare
vnto
man
,
than
his
wyfe
:
Nothing
more
ioy
ned
/
more
stedfastly
knyt
vnto
him
/
as
it
dothe
appeare
ryght
well
by
Adam
.
Whyche
/
as
sone
as
God
had
brought
this
woman
vnto
hym
/
by
and
by
hys
harte
was
kindled
with
perfect
and
natural
loue
toward
hyr
.
And
sayd
:
This
is
now
a
bone
of
my
bones
,
and
flesh
of
my
flesh
.
And
thus
I
say
●he
was
naturally
enclined
to
loue
hyr
:
And
a
good
cause
why
,
for
the
text
saith
god
brought
the
woman
to
the
man
.
Now
ye
know
ryght
well
that
when
god
doth
bringe
the
woman
to
the
man
/
that
is
to
sayet
The
man
and
the
woman
are
couples
and
Ioyned
together
by
Gods
Ordinaunce
.
Than
must
there
be
nedes
perfyte
loue
/
concorde
/
peace
and
vnitie
betwene
them
.
And
contrary
wise
/
when
God
bryngeth
them
not
to
gether
/
but
that
they
mary
for
riches
sake
/
or
for
bodely
pleasure
/
then
is
ther
continual
de
bate
/
strife
and
envy
betwene
them
.
As
we
right
well
perceyue
by
dayly
experyence
.
Now
after
that
God
had
brought
this
woman
vnto
Adamand
that
his
harte
was
sure
knit
in
true
Loue
towardes
hyr
.
Then
sayd
God
these
wordes
that
followe
.
Propter
hoc
relinquet
homo
patrem
&
matrem
&
adherebet
vxori
sue
&
erunt
duo
in
carne
vna
.
That
is
:
For
womans
sake
,
shall
man
forsake
bothe
father
,
and
mother
,
and
cleaue
vnto
his
wyfe
,
And
they
shall
be
.ij.
in
one
fleshe
.
These
wordes
were
not
onely
spoken
of
God
the
father
in
the
olde
testament
but
are
rehearsed
also
agayne
of
Christ
his
sonne
in
the
newe
testament
/
as
ye
may
rede
in
the
.xix.
of
Mathewe
.
But
what
meaneth
this
where
as
the
texte
sayth
.
They
shal
be
two
in
one
fleshe
?
Euen
truely
this
.
That
they
two
beinge
made
one
by
Gods
ordinaunce
/
shul
dedo
all
thinges
in
the
lorde
/
with
one
harte
:
and
with
one
minde
/
being
voyd
of
all
strife
and
debate
.
And
therfore
doth
Chryste
call
them
two
in
one
fleshe
(
as
who
sayth
)
they
are
of
one
harte
of
one
minde
in
all
Godlynes
.
Ferthermore
Chryst
dyd
not
onely
confirme
this
ordinaunce
/
(
I
meane
matrimony
)
with
his
wordes
/
but
also
heand
his
mother
did
resorte
vnto
a
mariage
in
Cana
Galilee
.
Ioannis
.
ij
And
honoured
it
with
godly
presence
/
where
as
he
wrought
the
first
myracle
that
euer
he
did
/
in
chaunging
water
ito
wine
.
Thus
gentell
people
/
fyrst
ye
se
that
GOD
is
the
auctout
of
it
.
Secondly
Chryst
confirmed
and
honoured
it
with
his
presence
.
Besides
the
his
holy
apostle
Paule
doth
laude
and
prayse
it
,
saying
:
Hebre
.
xij
.
Honourabile
connubium
in
omnibus
,
&
thorus
immaculatus
.
That
is
:
Let
wedlocke
be
had
in
prire
in
all
pointes
/
and
let
the
chamber
be
vndefiled
.
Let
vs
therfore
hereafter
honoure
wedlocke
/
prayse
it
and
laude
it
/
&
haue
it
in
great
reuerence
and
regard
as
Gods
ordinaunce
ought
to
be
had
.
And
as
we
haue
estemed
and
regarded
now
of
a
long
season
mans
inuentions
and
tradicions
farre
aboue
Gods
holy
lawes
/
euen
so
let
vs
take
mens
dreames
as
they
be
/
and
let
Gods
moost
holy
ordinaunces
stande
in
their
place
as
they
ought
to
do
.
The
causes
why
matrimony
are
instituted
are
these
:
First
sens
the
beginnig
of
the
worlde
,
God
hath
created
&
doth
daylye
create
both
menne
and
women
,
to
whome
he
doth
attribute
and
geue
a
naturall
desier
and
inclinacion
to
be
frutefull
and
to
get
and
bring
furth
a
thig
like
vnto
them selfe
:
agaynst
the
whiche
naturall
desier
or
inclynacion
no
man
ought
to
scryue
/
but
they
that
haue
the
gift
of
chastitie
only
/
as
for
an
example
.
God
at
the
beginning
made
and
created
all
thinges
with
his
holy
worde
/
to
encrease
and
to
be
frutefull
:
As
when
he
sayde
.
Germinat
terra
herbam
virentem
.
Let
the
earth
bring
furth
grene
grasse
.
This
was
not
spoken
that
the
earth
shulde
be
fruteful
at
the
beginning
only
/
but
that
continuallye
/
from
time
to
time
it
shuld
be
fruteful
/
as
ye
se
yerely
the
feldes
and
medowes
/
vestured
with
grene
grasse
/
and
flowres
springing
at
time
conuenient
styll
by
the
vertue
of
the
same
worde
.
Euen
so
God
created
not
man
at
his
first
creacion
only
to
be
frutefull
but
that
he
shulde
be
frutefull
by
the
vertue
of
the
sayde
worde
/
at
his
first
creacion
,
so
long
as
the
nature
of
man
did
continewe
.
And
as
it
is
impossible
for
man
/
to
commaunde
the
earth
/
not
to
bring
furth
grasse
/
or
to
be
frutefull
.
Euen
so
is
it
impossible
for
man
eyther
with
vowes
/
lawes
,
or
constitucione
/
to
bynde
the
nature
of
man
to
be
vnfrutefull
:
For
likewise
as
it
is
naturally
geuen
to
a
tree
/
first
to
spred
his
bowes
then
to
bud
/
and
so
to
bring
furth
frute
euery
yere
at
conuenient
season
:
Euen
so
is
it
geuen
naturallye
to
man
to
be
ioyned
to
woman
/
and
so
to
beget
furth
frute
like
himselfe
.
And
from
this
naturall
lawe
is
no
man
deliuered
of
what
estate
and
condicion
soeuer
he
be
except
onely
they
vnto
whome
God
hath
geuen
the
gyft
of
chastitie
.
Nowe
who
soeuer
perceyueth
in
himself
that
he
hath
not
this
hygh
gift
of
chastytie
/
he
must
obey
the
wyll
of
God
/
and
vse
that
remedy
which
god
hath
ordeyned
for
that
purpose
/
that
is
to
be
ioyned
to
a
woman
:
which
may
not
be
done
in
adultery
or
whoredome
/
but
in
holy
wedsocke
/
according
to
saynet
Paules
doctrine
i
.
Cor
.
i
.
Where
as
he
sayth
.
Propter
fornicationem
autem
vnusquisque
suam
vxorem
habeat
/
&
vnaqueque
virum
suum
habeat
.
That
is
:
To
avoyde
fornicacion
/
let
euery
man
haue
his
wife
and
euery
woman
hir
husband
For
if
a
man
myght
haue
abused
euery
woman
after
his
own
pleasure
/
thē
shulde
there
haue
bene
no
peace
/
concorde
nor
vnitie
among
the
people
but
all
malice
debate
as
we
se
manye
tymes
one
man
fall
out
wyth
an
other
for
harlottes
sakes
.
Neyther
shuld
that
children
haue
bene
brought
vp
in
any
good
nurture
or
godly
lyuyng
Ferthermore
they
shuld
not
haue
knowen
their
fathers
nor
yet
their
fathers
shulde
haue
knowen
them
:
now
to
avoyde
all
these
euels
.
God
did
instytute
holy
matrimony
.
And
as
the
text
sayth
.
Masculum
&
feminam
creauit
illos
.
That
is
:
He
made
thē
man
and
woman
:
As
who
sayth
:
One
man
sufficient
for
a
woman
/
and
one
woman
sufficient
for
one
man
:
whiche
shulde
be
ioyned
together
in
holy
wedlorke
:
&
so
to
bring
vp
the
frute
of
their
bodyes
in
godly
doctryne
and
in
the
feare
of
the
lorde
.
Now
/
the
thyrde
thing
that
I
promised
you
to
speake
of
:
Is
this
.
To
shew
vnto
you
what
thing
is
figured
by
this
holy
matrimony
:
truely
euen
this
.
The
great
mistery
betwene
Christ
and
his
deare
spowse
,
which
is
the
congregation
of
his
elect
people
:
Wherfore
it
must
nedes
folowe
.
It
is
an
holy
and
godly
thing
/
in
asmuch
as
it
doth
figure
and
represent
vnto
vs
the
mistery
which
is
betwene
Christ
&
his
congregation
.
Therfore
we
will
compare
the
circumstaunces
of
matrimony
vnto
the
mistery
figured
by
it
,
and
then
shall
we
sone
perceaue
howe
they
agre
in
all
thinges
:
and
how
the
one
do
the
represent
the
other
.
First
in
wedlocke
the
man
forsaketh
both
father
and
mother
/
and
cleaueth
vnto
his
wife
.
Euen
so
hath
christ
the
sonne
of
God
done
.
Whiche
although
he
could
not
be
separated
from
god
that
father
,
but
was
alwayes
one
god
with
him
.
Yet
he
semeth
to
forsake
him
for
a
ceason
/
when
he
toke
vpon
him
oure
nature
of
the
virgin
mary
/
for
this
intent
to
ioyne
and
marye
vnto
him
the
congregation
of
his
electe
people
/
according
to
his
promes
made
in
the
.ij.
chapter
of
Osee
the
prophet
.
Sponsabo
te
mihi
in
sempiternum
&
cetera
quesequuntur
.
Thus
wyll
I
mary
the
vnto
mine
owne
selfe
/
for
ev{er}more
:
Yea
euen
to
my selfe
will
I
mary
the
:
In
rightuousnes
/
in
equitie
/
in
louing
kindenes
/
and
in
mercy
in
faith
also
/
I
will
mary
the
vnto
my selfe
:
and
thou
shalt
knowe
thy
lord
and
spowse
.
And
thus
vnto
his
wife
doth
he
stedfastly
cleaue
,
that
is
christ
to
his
congre
gation
:
Neuer
forsakig
hir
/
but
still
abyding
with
hir
:
As
he
sayth
in
Math
.
xxviij
.
Ecce
ego
vobiscum
sum
vsque
ad
consummacionem
seculi
.
That
is
:
Lo
/
I
am
wyth
you
euen
vnto
the
ending
of
the
world
:
Also
the
woman
was
called
a
bone
of
the
mans
bones
,
and
flesh
of
his
flesh
/
and
was
made
of
the
man
.
Euen
so
what
soeuer
the
congregation
of
faithfull
people
hath
/
she
hath
receyued
it
of
hir
husbonde
christ
,
and
thorow
Christ
as
Iohn
sayth
.
Et
de
plenitudine
eius
nos
omnes
accepimus
,
gratiam
pro
gratia
/
quia
lex
per
Moysen
data
est
/
gratia
&
veritas
per
Iesum
Christum
.
That
is
:
This
is
he
of
whose
haboundaunce
or
fulnesse
/
all
we
haue
receyued
grace
for
grace
,
or
fauour
for
fauour
that
is
to
say
:
For
the
fauour
that
god
hath
to
his
soune
Christ
/
he
geueth
vnto
vs
his
fauour
&
good
wil
/
as
a
father
to
his
sonnes
.
Farthermore
although
that
man
and
woman
are
twaine
/
Yet
by
holy
matrimony
they
are
made
one
flesh
.
Euen
so
Christ
and
his
spowse
the
congregation
are
but
one
:
Christ
is
the
head
/
and
they
are
the
membres
:
As
sainct
Paule
sayth
.
Rom.
xij
.
Ita
multi
vnum
corpus
sumus
in
Christo
.
We
being
many
are
one
body
in
christ
.
And
in
the
.i.
Cor
xij
.
Vos
estis
corpus
christi
.
Ye
are
the
body
of
christ
.
And
thus
christ
and
his
congregation
are
vnite
and
knyt
together
in
one
.
Also
betwene
man
and
wyfe
all
things
are
comon
:
euen
so
is
it
betwixt
christ
and
his
congregation
:
we
are
partakers
of
his
goods
/
and
he
hathe
bene
partaker
of
our
euels
:
in
so
muche
that
as
he
hath
taken
vpon
him
our
sinne
/
&
ouercome
death
and
hell
for
out
sakes
.
And
thus
hathe
he
payde
our
rausom
,
agayne
we
haue
by
him
mercy
/
grace
&
remission
of
sinne
and
euerlasting
lyfe
.
And
thus
is
sainct
Paules
saying
fulfilled
.
i
.
Cor
.
i
.
Factus
est

sapientia
&
iusticia
&
sanctificacio
&
redemptio
.
He
is
our
wisdom
/
our
rightuousnes
,
our
santcilicacion
and
redempcion
Thus
do
ye
well
perceyue
that
we
of
our selues
haue
nothing
but
sinne
and
dampnacion
.
And
by
Christ
we
haue
mercy
and
lyfe
eternall
.
Vt
qui
gloriatur
in
domino
glorietur
.
He
that
reioyceth
let
him
reioyce
in
the
Lorde
.
Also
an
Imury
or
displeasure
done
to
the
wyfe
/
is
done
also
to
the
husbonde
.
Euen
so
is
it
with
Christ
and
his
wyfe
:
As
it
maye
well
be
proued
.
Acto

ix
.
Where
it
is
written
,
howe
Paule
thorow
a
blinde
zele
persecuted
christes
membres
.
Therfore
Christ
sayd
vnto
him
.
Saule
,

Quid

Saule

why
doest
thou
persecute

In

as
he
persecuted

membres
he
persecuted
christ
:
therfore
sayde
he
,
why
doest
thou
persecute
me
?
And
this
is
it
/
which
he
sayth
.
Math
.
25.
quam

fratribus

In
asmuche
as
ye
haue
done
it
/
to
one
of
the
leste
of
my
brethern
,
ye
haue
done
it
vnto
me
.
The
husbonde
and
the
wyfe
do
conceyue
no
chyldren
/
but
by
enbracing
one
the
other
(
Thinke
none
vncleanes
in
my
wordes
gentell
people
/
for
it
is
none
:
Wedlocke
is
honourable
in
all
thinges
)
Euen
so
the
congregation
bringeth
fourth
no
frute
at
all
/
but
by
the
enbracing
of
christ
her
husbonde
:
which
is
thorowe
truth
and
fayth
.
For
as
saynet
Paule
sayth
.
Roma
.
xiiij
.
Omne
autem
quod
non
est
ex
fide
/
peccatum
est
.
For
what
soeuer
is
not
of
fayth
,
the
same
is
sinne
.
Therfore
to
beleue
Christ
/
is
to
embrace
him
/
that
is
/
to
cleaue
vnto
him
onely
:
And
to
forsake
all
other
.
And
to
worke
after
that
fayth
/
is
to
beget
an
holy
chylde
/
and
to
bringe
fourth
good
frutes
.
¶
Also
the
man
is
head
of
the
woman
,
as
the
wordes
of
God
do
playnlye
proue
,
whiche
he
spake
vnto
Eue
.
Gen.
iiij
Thou
shalte
bringe
fourth
the
frute
of
thy
wombe
with
great
payne
/
and
thou
shalt
be
vnder
mans
power
/
and
he
shal
beare
rule
ouer
the
.
Lo
/
here
ye
heare
Gods
ordinaunce
/
that
the
woman
muste
be
in
subiection
to
the
man
:
Euen
so
is
Christ
lord
and
head
of
his
wite
the
congregation
,
and
she
muste
be
obedient
and
subiect
vnto
him
/
to
obey
his
godly
wyll
and
pleasure
.
Neuertheles
although
the
man
be
heade
ouer
the
woman
,
yet
he
ought
to
consider
and
beare
the
wekenes
of
his
wife
,
according
to
saynet
Peters
exhortacion
/
which
exhorteth
the
man
sometime
to
geue
honour
to
the
woman
/
as
vnto
a
frayell
vessell
/
and
so
to
beare
her
wekenes
:
For
euen
so
doth
Chryst
suffer
the
wekenes
of
hys
congregation
and
people
often
times
.
Saynet
Paule
also
describeth
both
the
husbandes
office
and
the
wyfes
the
.v.
chapter
to
the
Ephesians
.
And
there
he
sayth
that
it
is
a
greate
mistery
or
a
greate
sacrament
betwixt
Chryst
and
the
congregacion
.
And
for
what
intent
I
praye
you
dyd
he
write
this
?
Truely
euen
for
this
cause
/
that
the
husbande
and
the
wife
coupled
together
by
holy
matrimony
shul
de
ende●er
them selues
/
by
all
meanes
to
expresse
in
their
lyuinge
that
thinge
/
which
is
figured
by
thē
.
And
that
their
might
be
suche
a
true
vnitie
/
concorde
/
peace
,
fayth
loue
/
and
continuaunce
in
the
same
betwene
them
,
as
is
betwene
Christ
and
his
elect
congregacion
.
Thus
perceyueye
well
gentell
audience
,
what
a
godly
state
of
lyuing
matrimony
is
:
and
what
a
great
mistery
betwixt
Christ
and
his
churche
is
sigured
by
it
.
Therfore
I
say
it
shall
be
your
duties
on
both
parties
/
to
endeuer
and
enforce
yourselfes
so
to
frame
and
order
your
lyues
/
that
there
may
be
suche
loue
and
concorde
betwene
you
/
as
is
betwixte
Christ
,
and
his
deare
spowse
the
congre
gation
of
the
faythfull
.
Nowe
to
the
fourth
and
last
:
The
whiche
thing
done
,
ye
shall
se
what
commodite
shal
come
of
it
.
First
God
him selfe
sayth
/
that
he
delyteth
in
that
wedlock
,
where
as
the
man
and
the
woman
agreeth
/
as
it
is
afore
rehearsed
.
Eccle
.
xxv
.
Thre
thinges
there
are
that
my
sprete
fauoureth
:
which
be
also
allowed
befor
God
and
men
.
The
first
is
vnitie
of
brethern
.
The
.2
.
is
loue
of
neybours
and
the
.3
.
man
&
wise
that
agre
well
together
.
Now
they
that
lyue
thus
Godly
/
and
quietly
/
and
are
at
peace
in
their
conscience
/
then
wyll
God
sende
them
frute
of
their
bodies
:
which
they
must
brin
ge
vp
in
all
Godlynes
and
in
the
feare
of
the
lorde
:
and
they
that
thus
do
/
shal
haue
a
ioyfull
and
a
quiet
conscience
/
in
asmuch
as
they
lyue
after
Gods
ordinaunce
,
and
not
in
lechery
,
nor
adultery
but
in
holy
matrimony
.
Where
as
they
that
lyue
and
be
whormongers
/
and
adulterers
/
shall
neuer
possesse
the
kingdom
of
heauen
/
as
sayth
saynet
Paule
.
Primo
.
Cor
.
vi
.
Therfore
I
wyll
exhorte
you
right
welbeloued
brethern
and
sis
:
tern
,
to
walke
worthely
in
this
holy
state
of
matrimony
/
according
to
your
profession
,
and
then
shall
God
encrease
you
not
onely
in
worldly
substaunce
/
but
also
in
spiritual
goodnes
.
And
you
sister
for
your
parte
/
I
shall
shew
you
what
faynet
Paule
sayth
to
his
disciple
Titus
in
the
seconde
chapter
.
Warne
those
(
sayth
he
)
that
be
yonge
women
to
loue
their
husbandes
/
to
loue
their
chyldren
,
to
be
wise
/
chast
and
sober
:
Then
shall
ye
be
called
blessed
/
as
that
holy
woman
Iudith
was
/
vnto
whome
were
spoken
these
wordes
.
Iudith
.
xv
.
By
cause
thou
hast
loued
chastitie
:
And
haste
knowen
none
other
manne
/
but
thy
husband
:
Therfore
hath
the
hande
of
the
lorde
comforted
the
/
and
thou
shalt
be
blessed
for
euer
:
Lo
/
Iudith
is
called
holy
&
blessed
/
because
she
knewe
none
other
man
besides
hit
husbande
.
And
al
though
she
was
a
maryed
woman
yet
was
she
called
blessed
because
she
loued
chastitie
:
For
wedlocke
doth
not
take
away
chastitie
/
but
maketh
a
man
or
woman
rather
more
chaste
/
wherfore
we
ought
highly
to
esteme
it
and
haue
it
in
great
reuerence
/
as
the
holy
ordinaunce
of
God
.
Now
God
geue
vs
grace
of
his
insinite
mercy
and
goodnes
to
receyue
his
holy
lawes
and
godly
Ordinaunces
as
they
ought
to
be
receyued
/
and
that
euery
man
and
woman
may
walke
after
their
vocation
to
the
glory
of
god
and
the
prayse
of
his
sonne
Iesus
Chryst
to
whome
be
all
